Well -- if you've Ultra or Ultra wide scsi devices the scanner should not change anything. If they are faster (LVD Ultra-2, U130, U320,...) performance *will* suffer as all devices drop down to regular U[W]. But it's always better to keep things on long cables with bad scsi firmware implementations (scanner are notorious examples) separate from the scsi chain with the HD's and fast CDROM's. Getting a OSX supported scsi card would rescue the scanner, but then mabe getting a newer scanner doesn't hurt anyway. In Linux I could stop the LUN scanning (more or less) easily, with OSX I've no idea if or how to do that.
